    SAFETY GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES A careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions.
  • Page 7 SAFETY Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-over- protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Death or serious injury could result from falling off the tractor, particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS. (SG-7) str Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or Implement.

  • Page 8: Operator Safety Instructions And Practices

    SAFETY OPERATOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and Implement.

  • Page 9: Equipment Operation Safety Instructions And Practices

    SAFETY Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform repairs, maintenance and when removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing. Use a ladder or raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from ground level.
  • Page 10 SAFETY BEFORE leaving the tractor seat lower the implement, set the parking brake and/or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling.
  • Page 11 SAFETY For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator, install a certified Falling Object Protective Structure. Shiftable loads, round bales, large loose items, and loader attachments can fall toward the operator resulting in serious injury or death. Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) rated Cab may be obtained from the tractor dealer or other sources.
  • Page 12 SAFETY Carry the loader and attachment low when transporting to reduce the potential of the tractor tipping over. Transport on slopes only at slow speeds and use gradual turning angles. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or ground obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and causing serious injury.
  • Page 13 SAFETY Know before you DIG. Call 888-258-0808 and request that all buried utilities locations be identified before digging in unfamiliar ground. Do not let the loader or attachment contact buried electrical power lines, utilities, or gas lines. Contact with electrical power lines can result in serious bodily injury or electrocution.
